Thompson Island Outward Bound

'' Thompson Island Outward Bound Education Center is a not-for-profit organization that provides outdoor adventure and experiential learning programs for young people from diverse economic backgrounds. Our programs are designed to inspire leadership and teamwork in the youth we serve. Located in the Boston Harbor Islands National Park Area, Thompson Island is a unique destination for work or play.

Corporate and social events at Thompson Island Conference Center and adult teambuilding programs with Outward Bound Professional help to support our mission and our programs for Boston’s youth.

Outward Bound has pioneered safety management processes and procedures that have become the model for the industry. Two primary aspects of our safety management system are our periodic Safety Reviews and our approval process for each new program. Our instructors receive regular, intensive training and most spprentice for a season or more before leading courses. Instructors are certified in Wilderness Advanced First Aid, as a Wilderness First Responder, or as a Wilderness Emergency Medical Technician.

Our safety program consists of: a safety policy and national and unit standards that guide all program activity, participant screening and staff hiring. Additional aspects include: instructor manuals with detailed safety requirements, unit safety directors, safety committees, safety reviews, and annual safety reports. Instructors receive background check before being hired.
